About this Event
Ever wondered what The Bluest Eye, Harry Potter, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Catcher in the Rye have in common? They've all been banned at some point! Join us for an afternoon of rebellious reading and celebrate the books that dared to be different.
What to Expect:
- Featured readings
- Open mic-style readings
- Diverse selection of banned and challenged books
- Family-friendly environment
We're excited to share this time with passionate readers, free speech advocates, and community members curious about banned books. Come ready to listen, share, and engage in meaningful conversations about the books that have shaped our world.
Note to folks planning to participate in open mic: As this is a family-friendly event, please choose age-appropriate excerpts for your readings.
Don't let the book-banners win! Come join One Book One New Orleans and the Women's National Book Association for an afternoon of literary freedom. .
